In a small village, the sound of drums brought fear to Maya. Tonight, under the full moon, she would become Shakti, a devadasi in the temple, even though she didn't want this life. Her dreams of storytelling clashed with old traditions, squeezing her like a strong snake. With debts and shame surrounding her, Maya's life felt suffocating.

As Maya moved towards the temple, a glimmer of hope came from Prince Vikramaditya. He, a rebel with a good heart, stopped the ceremony with his sword, sparking anger from the villagers. Swords clashed, chaos unfolded, and Maya found herself caught in a game too big for her to understand.

Vikramaditya fought bravely, creating an escape for Maya. In the quiet forest, he set her free, promising to break the chains holding her captive. Their journey began with a promise to rebel against oppressive traditions.

Yet, challenges lay ahead. Raghuvir, hungry for power, stirred trouble, and whispers turned into lies. The fight for justice demanded its first sacrifice, and the drums of destiny, silent for a while, waited to thunder again. The couple's journey from thorns to crown had just begun, and the shadows of the past lingered, testing their resolve for a kingdom where destiny wasn't determined by birth but by the bravery in their hearts.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
